The Dza’wada’enuxw Nation belief system is based on four traditional laws and values:

Spirituality, which recognizes the existence of a higher power and provides the foundation for the three other laws and values.

Respect for all creation, underpinned by the understanding that all creation is interconnected; this belief directs the Nation’s land and resource stewardship.

Relationships, specifically the relationship between the Nation and all creation; recognizing that all creation can survive without the Nation but the Nation cannot survive without all creation.

The importance of self brings the focus to the individual; it supports the self-determination of the Dzawada’enuxw Nation reinforces the practice that the greatest duty of any individual is to give of one’s self.
